Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed January 30, 1905. Serial No. 243,366.

To (LZZ who/It it may concern.-

Be it known that I, h/IORRIS BORGEN, pipe manufacturer, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at 104. Great Hampton street, Birmingham, in the county of I/Varwick, England, have invented a certain new and useful Improved Mouthpiece for Pipes and Cigar and Cigarette Holders, of which the following is a specification.

. I My mvenuon 1s a new form of mouthpiece for a tobacco-pipe or a cigar or cigarette holder.

The mouth end of a mouthpiece according to my invention is a blind onethat is to say, the bore of the mouthpiece does not pass straight through to the said mouth end, but proceeds to a single entrance at the one side of the mouth end, and therefore leaves the said mouth end directly closed and solid. The said mouth iece has an extended bite, or, in other worc s, has its bite a greater distance than usual from the extremity of the mouth end, this to insure the entrance to the bore projecting well into the smokers mouth. Further, the one end of the said blind mouth end is made to extend beyond the other and opposite end to form a projecting lip or lump, behind which the entrance-hole aforesaid to the bore is placed, the mouthpiece thereby being longest on this lip side. The lip protects the entrance to the bore against the smokers tongue, which will play or come against the blind end of the mouthpiece. Still further, the blind mouth end of the mouthpiece is transversely grooved out or made concave to suit the shape of the tip of the tongue.

By the aid of the accompanying sheet of drawings and the description hereinafter appearing with reference thereto my invention in several of its applications will be clearly understood.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of a pipe having a mouthpiece. Fig. 2 is an end elevation. Fig. 3 is a top plan view. Fig. 4 is a view in elevation of a cigaretteholder having a mouthpiece, the

same partly being in section. Fig. 5 is a modification. Fig. 6 is a further modification.

In the drawings the letter a. is the mouthpiece, and a is its blind mouth end. The I. transverse face a of the end a is concaved in shape to form a hollowing for the tongue. The one end of the said mouth end is ex- 1 tended into a projecting lip or lump 0, which makes the mouthpiece longest on this side. Behind this lip 0, so as to be protected by it from the tongue, is placed the entrance-hole d to the bore d of the mouthpiece, this entrance-hole being the only means by which the month end communicates with the bore. The said hole d is an oblique hole, so that there is no difliculty in cleaning the bore of the mouthpiece. The bite of the mouthpiece is represented at 6, it being at a greater .distance than usual from the extremity of the mouth end or being extended so that the entrance-opening d projects well into the mouth of the smoker.

The modificationsv of mouthpieces Figs. 5 and 6 differ only from Figs. 1 to 4, inasmuch as the transverse faces a a are slightly different in shape; but this is the only change.

Having now described my invention, what my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
